When Winter rages in Alberta, people trust to the warming chinook winds with their promise of spring. Maybe, though, there's more to it....

Albertan author Rhonda Hunter's magical story imagines a yearly tussle between Chinook - portrayed as a playful and high-spirited young woman - and gruff Old Man Winter, with bright young Kiaya and her mother waiting for those warm winds to come. This time, though, Old Man Winter changes the rules of the game. Will his cold reign ever end?

Chinook and Winter is an enchanting, imaginative debut from Hunter, with dazzling illustrations from young prodigy Jayce Lamontagne.

The forest is alive with stories in the dark. Tonight, Grandma shares one that may be the most mysterious of all.

Young Louis is lost in the woods when a giant grew wolf arrives to lead him home to safety. There may be more than good luck to this, and Louis learns the tale of the wolf man - Loup Garou.

Angel St. Cyr wraps a story within a story to savour the pleasure of storytelling itself as Grandma enchants the children. Those two levels are conveyed thrillingly by Sheldon Dawson's illustrations.
